” . . . Fo-wer caw-ling birrdss, three french henssss, two tur-tle dovesss . . . and a par-tri-dge in a pearrrr treeee.” No, seriously, we’re not singers, (Heh-no-REALLY). We’re the small mobile software company with the big smiles–Illium Software.

kay, the glasses thing pops up with my coworkers every so often, and with out much thought most of us lay blame on the monitors. But it turns out most my coworkers and I started wearing glasses before our careers started. 4th grade for me. Does that allow apply to you guys?

As for my caption:
“LIVE webcam of the crew at Illium — yet somehow they get their work done.”

“This is our great staff at Ilium Software. The one with the gadget is Ken, and no, he is NOT the president of the company! In fact, he’s the one who makes sure no employees wander around the building without a security pass. And that gadget? It’s one of our dummy units.”

“Your honor, I present exhibit A. This clearly shows the man on the left is the perpetrator of the company’s recent test hardware losses. Nothing like a nice group photo on a wonderful day to flush out the inside man.”

What you see: Ilium Software. What you don’t see: The hamsters who herded Ilium Software out into the sunlight at gunpoint, revolting against being used to power the servers and serve as keyboard dusters.

After years of denial, this intrepid group of closet developers has come clean. “It wasn’t easy ya know” said Lee. “This isn’t the kind of ‘outing’ we were expecting” said Ken. Sheri (standing center) said “I simply can’t understand why I can’t get close to these people”. For the time being however, they are content to each move forward in their own, quirky, way.

Photos, employee data and more: Make your next photo look professional with ListPro! Professional lists for (mostly) professional people…we’re not sure who those guys in shorts are, probably filling the Coke machine. I bet they could use Listpro too!

This is truly remarkable! EVERYONE from Illium seems to be standing still and smiling in the same place at the same time. I don’t think that I have ever seen a coincidence of such magnitude! I think I’ll take a picture.
